WICHITA, Kan. (July 22, 2025)—Kyler Fedko became the first player in Wind Surge franchise to record a 20-20 season in franchise history in a 12-5 victory for Wichita over the Frisco RoughRiders at Equity Bank Park. He hit a pair of home runs to reach 20 this year, while he entered the game with 23 stolen bases, swiping his 24th in the contest.
Kala’i Rosario and Fedko opened the night by becoming the sixth pair of Wind Surge teammates to hit back-to-back home runs this season. Rosario’s 11th of the year was a two-run homer, while Fedko’s 19th in 2025 came on a solo shot to make the score 3-0 Wichita after an inning.
Jake Rucker left the yard to left field on the first pitch of the bottom of the second for the third Wind Surge long ball of the night and the team’s fourth run. Andrew Cossetti lofted a double off the outfield wall in the home half of the third to bring in Fedko for a 5-0 Wind Surge advantage.
Abimelec Ortiz broke the scoreless spell for Frisco with a sacrifice fly to right in the top of the fourth. A groundout put across another run later in the inning to put the game within three for the RoughRiders.
Fedko found the Wichita bullpen in left-center in the bottom of the fifth for his second long ball of the night, becoming the first-ever Wind Surge player to record a 20-20 season in franchise history.
While three more scores came for Frisco on two hits in the top of the sixth, a round-tripper trio courtesy of Kaelen Culpepper, Gabby Gonzalez, and Rosario added four more tallies for Wichita in the bottom half of the inning for an 11-5 Wind Surge score through sixth, while Cossetti singled home the 12th run for Wichita in the eighth, bringing the eventual final score into the picture.
Mike Paredes threw three innings of two-hit baseball to go with three strikeouts on the way to his 10th win of the year.
